What Happened To Our Connection | Dave Schramm and Liz Hale | #12

People are more important than problems. In this week’s episode, Dr. Dave and Dr. Liz dive into the deep end of the relationship pool. Using the metaphor of a swimming pool, they discuss the importance of maintenance and consistently adding cups of connection. They share 8“D’s of Disconnection”-how to become more aware of these threats to couple connection and how to tackle them with intentionality. 

Insights:

Dave: Remember to be more intentional, think about those things you need to work on and be mindfully aware. Don’t go automatic, be aware of the things that are taking away from your connection.

Liz: Put people over your problems, remember what is important.

Invites:

   -   Talk with your partner about your current relationship pool, what needs maintenance? How can you add more cups of connection?
   -   Go over each “D of Disconnection” and discuss where you need work and make note of the places you are doing well.
   -   Be mindful in the things you are doing as a couple, stay intentional and remember to put people over the problem.
